In 2023, wildfires burned 15 million hectares in Canada, more than doubling the previous record. These wildfires caused a record number of evacuations, unprecedented air quality impacts across Canada and the northeastern United States, and substantial st
Conditions through the remainder of spring will dictate just how favourable the environment will be to support the spark and spread of wildfires heading into the warm season. VisitThe Weather Network's wildfire hubto keep up with the latest on the wildfire season acr...
The Canadian Forest Service also delivered new wildfire intelligence tactical mapping products to provinces and territories, and in 2023 the U.S. Department of Defense deployed FireGuard, a new high-tech fire detection system, to help Canada battle wildfir...

research has suggested that PAH air emissions from such smelters can be deposited within an 80 km radius and dispersed up to 30 km in aqueous media52. A naturally-occurring source of pyrogenic PAHs, particularly along the west coast of Canada, are forest wildfires with prevailing winds facilitati...
Fragmentation dynamics by dominant forest disturbance showed that harvest activities generally lead to an increase in fragmentation related to the amount of forest cover (composition), while wildfires result in increasing fragmentation as a function of the spatial arrangement of the forest. The results ...
In 2018, parts of British Columbia experienceddevastating floods, followed by wildfires a couple of months later. Our water resources are under threat from contamination, land use, urbanization andclimate change. If we're not careful, it may not be clean enough or available when we need it. ...
The warnings about the upcoming season come as researchers take stock of last year'shistoric wildfires, and analyze what can be done differently. Although the number of fires wasn't unusual compared to other years, their average size wa...
